I never posted here before, but considering the issue I'm facing and the people in this group, this is the perfect opportunity.

I just bought my first firearm with my PAL! Got it for 260 at a local gun show in my province, it's a Lee Endfield Mk4 if I'm not wrong and I'm trying to figure out how to unsportize it and bring it back to it's original glory, any help is greatly appreciated

I’m not an Enfield expert, but I know enough to be dangerous.
You have a No4 Lee Enfield. Since it has the flip rear sight I believe that’s a Mk2 or later change.

It looks like the barrel has been shortened, but I can’t tell by how much. No4s should have a bayonet lug on the barrel, and yours is missing it. Depending on how much barrel has been removed will determine how expensive it will be to restore to military configuration.

The vendor informed me during the sale that the barrel isn't original unfortunately

That makes sense. If it’s long enough, you may be able to make it work. You won’t be able to mount a bayonet though. Otherwise your option is to re-barrel with an unmodified one.
